ADVOCATING FOR PSYCHEDELIC-ASSISTED MENTAL HEALTHCARE
We aim to create a legal framework for the safe and therapeutic use of psychedelics in Belgium
ABOUT US
As PSBE, we believe in a society that, instead of suppressing symptoms, heals trauma, addiction and other mental illnesses. We believe in a society that is more tolerant and empathetic. A society that acts out of knowledge instead of fear. A society that aids their people in finding meaning in their suffering.
We believe that this society, is a psychedelic society.
Right now, we know that many are suffering for years at a time. For some, psychedelic assisted therapies can mean the difference between life or death. That's why we need the reform now, not later.
MENTAL HEALTH IN BELGIUM
These numbers are from before 2020, so we're not even talking about the direct effects of social isolation, fear, and grief introduced by COVID-19, and the indirect effects of economic downturn and despair.
